Can anyone who has already been on the Jewel verify there is a clothing-optional sundeck? We have cruised on Carnival too many times just because they have a topless deck. (Some cruisers never even knew it exists) We are booked on the Jewel in November and January.

I just called NCL. After being on hold while Linda researched the subject for quite a long time, she came back with a consensus that indeed there is NOT a c/o sundeck on the Jewel. Hopefully, she is wrong. I told her if I get arrested for nude sunbathing on the ship, its all Shore Girl's fault.

Well, if it's anything like Carnival's sun deck - forget it. March 2004 we sailed the brand new Miracle (BIL's idea, not mine, ugh) and tried out the sundeck. Gross - I can't tell you how many men "wondered" up to that desk "lost" It wasn't even relaxing. Granted, you ask for some attention when lying out topless, but it was pretty ridiculous. No, it was actually creepy as some men would sit down and "read a book" and stare.... unfortunately one does not read a book looking away from it. Anyway, I've given up on sundecks. Perhaps cruisng Europe w/ a more European passender demo would be better!

LOL- I bet if you call back a few more times you will get a few different answers! Well if it's not clothing-optional/adults-only, then I suggest NCL better start contacting these websites that are advertising this. I'm going to search NCL's Press Releases on the Jewel to see if they say anything!
